Old Havana Casino takes its name from the historic centre of Cuba's capital. Old Havana is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, drawing visitors in with a dense cluster of landmarks.
Does the casino deserve that name? For this Casinoz review, I went through its licensing record, payout history and bonus terms — and the bottom line is simple: the brand is closed. What looks like a live domain today is really just a legacy shell. There is no verified operator behind the deposit button.
The name "Old Havana" sets an obvious design brief, and the casino embraced it: the logo shows an older Cuban man with a cigar clamped between his teeth. The banners, meanwhile, feature tanned women at the wheel of an open-top vintage car.
Overall the site looks fairly plain, though I found nothing to complain about in either the visuals or the structure. Everything sits where you expect it, and the layout is easy on the eye. The screenshots in this review date from before the brand closed.
Old Havana Casino was operated by Main Street Vegas Group, with its main office and services based in Panama; the brand also had links to Costa Rica, and public records put its launch in 2012.
The site ran on Real Time Gaming software. You could play directly in the browser, or install a free client on your computer and play from there.
The casino pointed to independent testing by Technical Systems Testing, an organisation that ran regular audits of its games. Those checks cover the random number generator — they say nothing about how an operator handles payouts.
If a dispute with the Old Havana administration could not be settled directly, players could turn to the Control Dispute System, a body created by RTG for exactly that purpose — the CDS logo sat at the bottom of the site.
Old Havana was offered in English only.
Players from certain countries were not admitted, and responsibility for complying with local gambling law rested with the customer. The licensing picture is not reassuring: sources name Panama and Costa Rica, but I could not trace a licence number to any official register. Casino Guru, meanwhile, lists the casino as unlicensed.
American players were permitted to register, play for real money, claim bonuses and use the other services.
Curiously, the official site once went out of its way to say that Americans — unlike travellers to Cuba itself — were welcome at this "hot" casino.
New players had to register by filling in a multi-page form, and every detail had to be accurate — no guesswork, no attempts to mislead the administration.
Opening more than one account was not allowed.
Account access was granted once registration was complete. Identity verification (KYC) applied as well: a passport or driver's licence, plus a utility bill or bank statement, was the usual set of documents required before a first withdrawal.
Old Havana Casino ran on Real Time Gaming software, and Casinoz covers that developer in a dedicated section. The library was RTG-only — no other studios in the mix — and by most accounts it held close to 200 titles. The portfolio covered these formats:
Some titles carried progressive jackpots.
In the lobby, games were sorted into themed groups. Each category had sub-sections, so you could filter titles to match your own preferences.
Every game could be tested free of charge.
Video slots made up the bulk of the site. The lobby carried all the newest RTG slots alongside the studio's best releases from earlier years, and traditional slot machines were available too.
Long-running RTG favourites such as Cleopatra's Gold, T-Rex and Cash Bandits rubbed shoulders with newer arrivals, and the list was topped up with fresh models fairly often. Every one of them could be tried in a demo version.
The promotional programme at Old Havana Casino revolved around a matched-deposit welcome package:
Old Havana also offered customers:
The loyalty programme for regulars was no small thing, with a range of perks and benefits.
One thing to flag: for residents of certain countries, Old Havana applied special rules on how bonuses were granted and cleared. T&Cs apply. 18+. New customers only.

Playing the mobile casino at Old Havana was no less convenient than the browser or downloadable desktop version. It loaded quickly, ran steadily and opened up all the main services — top games, bonuses, promotions, jackpots and more.
The mobile menu was a little simplified. That did not hurt functionality — if anything, it made play on a smartphone more comfortable.
All modern devices were supported, iPhones, iPads and Android hardware included. There was no dedicated app, though — everything ran in the browser.
Old Havana Casino operated in US dollars only. Money deposited in another currency was converted at the prevailing bank rate.
Players were also allowed to fund the casino with Bitcoin and several other cryptocurrencies.
Deposits were taken through several methods, including Visa, MasterCard, MST cards, Neteller and bank transfers. American Express, crypto and Interac e-Transfer were on the list too. The minimum deposit depended on the method and started at $25.
Withdrawals from Old Havana could be taken by bank transfer, cheque, crypto and a few other routes, with a $150 floor. Weekly payout limits sat at $5,000, and processing ran up to 48 hours for e-wallets, up to 72 hours for Bitcoin and up to five business days for a bank transfer.
The list of available payment methods depended on the player's country of residence. Since the brand is closed, none of these channels are live any more.
Customer service at Old Havana could be reached through live chat, a phone line (toll-free for the US and Canada) and email. Support was advertised as running around the clock, seven days a week, in English. Public complaints suggest that verification and payout queries could drag on and needed repeat contact, so the promised 24/7 coverage did not always translate into fast answers.
What did Old Havana Casino actually get right? A solid RTG-only catalogue of slots, table games and video poker, crypto-friendly payments that included Bitcoin, and round-the-clock support with a toll-free US and Canada line. Against that: the licence was never confirmed in any official register, and public complaints point to slow payouts and repeated document checks. There were also no meaningful responsible-gambling tools such as self-exclusion. Casinoz experts consider the brand closed and high-risk — the domain may still resolve, but the operator behind it is gone.
That said, Old Havana only ever suited players who liked RTG software, were comfortable working in English and could live with a narrow set of deposit and withdrawal routes. If any of those did not apply, the experience was never going to feel right. Gamble responsibly. 18+. If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, seek help — BeGambleAware, GamCare and Gambling Therapy all offer free support.
No — residents of some countries could not use its services, while players from the United States were allowed to gamble for real money. The brand is closed now, so the question is largely academic.
The casino offered slots and other titles from Real Time Gaming. No software from other brands was available, and there were no dealer games.
The bonus programme was genuinely broad, spanning starter offers, regular bonuses, cashback, comp points and gifts. All of it is historical now — the brand has closed.
